#+TITLE: Server Configuration
2014-10-07 02:24:48 +00:00
* Preface
This is a literate shell program written. The formatting is pretty
straightforward. You can have documentation and code mixed up and make
2014-10-07 02:33:32 +00:00
nice PDFs but also spit out code. It's good for public projects. It
looks okay on Github. I'll set it up so that it automatically exports a companion shell script in time.
2014-10-07 02:24:48 +00:00
Let's set up a tilde.club server!
2014-10-02 20:48:32 +00:00
* Base machine
2014-10-07 02:24:48 +00:00
- A standard unix server, Ubuntu or CentOS.
- [TK explain servers and server math]
* TODO Getting started
- [ ] Add apropos descriptions for each application?
We need to start by installing some basics.
First we automatically upgrade the system
#+begin_src bash
echo "Installing basics"
yum upgrade
#+end_src
And we remove Java; it's a beast and it takes a lot of memory and is
generally a pretty bad citizen on machines that many people share.
#+begin_src bash
echo "Removing java"
yum uninstall java
#+end_src
* Servers
Now we install servers, which allow client software to connect and
issue commands. Each server is like a small computer unto itself.
The first server we fetch is Webmin, which is a systems administration
tool that you can use from the web.
#+begin_src bash
echo "Installing servers"
echo "1) Webmin"
yum install perl-Net-SSLeay # (so that webmin uses HTTPS rather than HTTP)
2014-10-07 02:24:48 +00:00
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.710-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -U webmin-1.710-1.noarch.rpm
echo "2) HTTPD/Apache"
yum install httpd
echo "3) Unix Talk"
yum install talk-server
2014-10-15 03:31:34 +00:00
echo "4) postfix mail server"
2014-10-07 02:24:48 +00:00
yum install postfix
#+end_src
** TODO Is postfix even necessary?
- [ ] We could just do maildrop.
- [ ] I do not know.
** TODO Log into webmin and set things up?
